Possible new bike in the garage

[Monica A]

My hubby has 3 bikes currently. I only have 1 bike. Not fair...

He is always looking at Craiglists for good deals. He says to me tonight while I'm making dinner...

"I found a bike you might like, you want to see it?" Duh, of course.

It's a 2012 Triumph 675 Daytona with purple paint. :cheer:

Unfortunately, it has 500 miles and the guy wants too much for it ($9,000). I said "offer him $7,000". lol

Hubby says "it would be a fun bike for you to run around on". Yes!!! He'll keep an eye on it and see if the guy gets desperate. heehee

Gotta love a man looking out for his woman...

My guess would be it went down and he repainted. What guy would paint a 675 purple with that few miles.

Maybe it's his wife's, or GF's, or BF's bike!?

I like it Monica! :thumbup:

I don't think it's repainted, I'v seen that bike in that color multiple times.

Are you referring to the pic? because thats a street triple which does come in that color. the Daytona 675 was never offered in purple

Oh yeah... I thought that was the picture of the bike.

Not that he'll let it go for 7, but it would probably be a good idea to try to sit on that bike 1st. Daytona has very race-track oriented ergonomics.

I don't know if that's the bike, I just did a search of craigslist based on her location and the info she provided
Sorry if I overstepped or confused anyone :spank:

It would match your slippers tho!

That is it!! It is a Street Triple. My bad. I was wrong. Daytona has full fairings, right? Street Triple is a naked bike.

I need to talk with (flirt with) my buddies at the Triumph dealer in town and get on the call list if they get a used purple one in... heehee Would it be a good track bike? We are getting into going to the track. Thinking about converting my son's SV650s for us to share. Could I use the Street Triple?

:ban:

How did you know my slippers are purple? I'll have to get a purple helmet and gloves to match the bike. They will go nicely with my black leathers.

Purple isn't manly enough for you??? Purple is considered a sign of royalty. Maybe he thinks he's a prince or king.

lytehouse, her avatar has purple slippers.... But apparently you do too!

 

[Andz]

Hmmm, 4 bikes in the garage and it's not enough.... you know what purple signifies, don't you? :spank:

Of course it can be used on track, but no, it's not ideal. SV650 is a much better track bike. It's all about ergonomics and the fact that 650 is somewhat slow is also a good thing for the track.

Blah

I've not ridden a Street Triple, but it'd be on my short list and the sound of the engine is intoxicating!

 

[Red Wazp]

I assume you are track riding at Fernley? I haven't ridden over there yet so when you do post us a track ride report.
Thunderhill near Willows Ca. is a blast!

personally i think that fully faired bikes are better for the track. levers and plastic bits are better to trash than engine and frame components

Fernley track is pretty torn up from what I hear. Did Thunderhill last Labor Day with Precision track. "Try the Track" so only 2 laps and parking lot skills but very fun. I'm ready for more hence purchase of leathers. :cheer:

I agree. Sound is awesome!! Love the sound of my Sprint. I usually ride with ear plugs but sometimes I don't so I can hear the bike. Love it!
